Water Restrictions Cause Pipes to Break

My nephew Mark is a water management professional with Marin County CA, out of necessity, light years ahead of others in water conservation.

He mentioned something interesting during a discussion on a recent phone conversation of Durham’s move last year to water restrictions based on odd or even house numbers partly to make it easier for the news media to avoid confusion with other cities in the 22 county viewing/listening area, even though the water systems and supplies vary significantly.
